Marching through March with odd job progress
A few updates through the month of March
2023
Seat top hatches
Designing and cutting the hatches into the benches via the seat tops, and my first “disaster”!
Fillets
Fillets take a long time to get right
2022
Nearing the end of cleats
Glassing the footwell, almost ready for garboards
Bulkhead 1 & glassing the mastbox
Finish glassing the mastbox and attaching bulkheads 1 and 8
An endless amount of filleting
Lots of bulkhead fillets, but very few screws to be had…
Footwell, centerboard, stem, bulkhead 3 - oh my!
Gluing things up, hopefully in alignment
Making the centerboard case
Don’t make it on the bench kids, make it on the boat itself
Trying to go 3 dimensional
Setting up bulkheads for the first time. It doesn’t go well.
2020
Ripping cleats
Don’t rip lumber with a bandsaw. Just don’t.
